Live Music in the Courtyard
Holliday // 4:00PM – 7:30PM
The Center for the Arts at Kayenta
“Holliday” is a Utah-based trio whose music grows straight out of the desert they come from — emotional, intimate, and genre-fluid. Jordan and Sean Hebner spent a decade experimenting in bedroom studios after growing up at the end of a dirt road in a town of 200 people. Liz Holliday joined later, bringing a songwriter’s instinct honed across Oregon, Spain, and everywhere her ambulance took her.
Now the three write and record together on a remote mesa with no light on the horizon. Their sound blends folk storytelling, jazz musicianship, and experimental production — a mix shaped by their chemistry and the landscape they create in. With one song out and a full album in the pipeline, they’re building a world of music that doesn’t follow genre so much as emotion.
FILM SCREENING
National Treasure // 7:30PM
The Lorraine Boccardo Theater
A modern-day fortune hunter races to find an ancient treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers.
Village Highlight
Gallery 873
Splashes of vibrant colors, light reflecting glass, shiny copper, rich bronze patinas, and other metallic creations adorn the interior of the gallery. Highlighted on the gallery walls are acrylics, oils, watercolors, and mixed media pieces. Our collection includes custom-made and hand-crafted jewelry, gourd art, creations in wood, and various small items for gift giving.
Our ceramics consist of hand-built stoneware and earthenware vessels utilizing decorative techniques such as sgraffito and wax resist, thrown porcelain vases, and crystal glaze bowls.
The gallery grounds feature outdoor sculptures and art pieces for your garden or home exterior that combine beauty with functionality.
